When Danny Lancaster gets a call from an old friend it’s a chance to swap his troubles in Brighton for a sunshine reunion in Gibraltar. He hasn’t seen Pogo since Afghanistan. They have war stories to retell, beers to drink. But Pogo is broke, sick and in trouble. It started with smuggling cigarettes. Now his Russian boss has taken on a dangerous job for a mystery businessman. A priceless package must be smuggled into Europe across the narrow straits from Africa. But unseen eyes are watching, lives are in danger. A game of Russian roulette is just the start of a deadly clash where two continents meet. And Danny must make a decision. How far do you go to help the man who saved your life?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've spent my working life as a journalist. You meet a lot of people, see things, learn stuff. For a crimewriter, it's a plot factory.

I've also done a lot of travelwriting. It's not all cocktails under the palm trees but it is a fantastic job that's taken me to more than 40 countries, from the white wastes of Arctic Finland to the deserts of Namibia.

People often ask my favourite place. In a world of globalisation, many destinations look the same but Iceland and Namibia are like stepping onto another planet. Go if you can.

I've also enjoyed a long love affair with Western Crete, the mountains, coastline, food and people. And I was delighted and surprised to receive the Ed Lacy Gibraltar travel award in 2007.

Another interest is my family tree. I've traced the ancestors back to William of Byfield, a farmer in 1600s Northamptonshire, just down the road from Shakespeare.

I love maps. They might seem old fashioned in the age of GPS but they tell stories, make promises. I have a ragbag collection of more than 3,000.

I'm also a fan of interesting cheeses, good beer and wilderness. They're like Marmite, you're an empty places person or you're not.

I have written six crime thrillers and a book of short stories featuring Danny Lancaster, a wounded Afghanistan veteran turned private investigator. They are:

The Wreck Of The Margherita

Death Squad

Rough Diamond

Rock Hard

Gargoyle Pixie Dog

Godlefe’s Cuckoo

Last Orders

I've also written three non-fiction books. GUNNER is based on my father's World War Two diary. PIGTAIL PILOT is the tragic story of a talented young woman pilot. A CROCUS FROM JERUSALEM is about a 19-year-old country lad's journey to war in the Middle East in 1917.

If you fancy a chat I'm easy to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danny's latest thrilling escapade
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2014

Having read the three previous Danny Lancaster action packed thrillers and enjoyed them all immensely, there is always an element of fear that another instalment might be disappointing. No worries on this score - this lived up to and exceeded expectations. Yet again the writing and descriptions immerse you from the first page and could not put this down. Luckily I was on holiday when this was released so no problem! A gripping, thrilling, entertaining and violent trip to Gibraltar for my hero, Danny, with an exploding climax that leaves you wondering. The descriptive writing about Gibraltar makes you feel you actually know the area even if you have not been there. Always difficult to write a review for this type of book without the fear of giving anything away to those who have not read. I would recommend to anyone, not just to those who generally read this genre of book, as it has a lot more to offer besides. Loved it !

5.0 out of 5 stars Danny Lancaster is Britain's answer to Jack Reacher
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2013

This is private investigator Danny Lancaster's 4th outing and he leaves his adopted home of Brighton for sunny Gibraltar to help out an old Army pal. Without giving away too much his mate is up to his neck in the brown stuff - working as a hired gun for a ruthless criminal gang. The plot involves Russian mafia, a mystery Mr Big, a shady outlet of the British secret service and one very special cargo. Probably the most violent of the Danny series so far, this is as much a thriller as a whodunit that leaves you guessing to the very end. If you like Jack Reacher you'll love this British version

5.0 out of 5 stars An explosion of whit, humour, sex and violence.

I have read all 4 of the Danny investigations now, and loved every minute. Bill Todd never fails to keep me excited and gripped on every page with his fantastic descriptions and details.
Living in Brighton, I always enjoy being captivated by the scenes set. On his latest adventure, Danny finds himself in Gibraltar, helping out an old friend in deep trouble, and the scenes are again beautifully descriptive. This series of books has something for everyone, action packed, page turning drama, sex, violence and shock twists and turns.
I fall for Danny's character more and more with every installment, and all this at a great price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent yarn
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2018

Another masterpiece by Bill Todd. More insight into Danny Lancaster and, for someone who has never been, I feel like I know Gibraltar really well. A few heart stopping moments, and more than a few tears, but I am now going to start the next chapter as quickly as possible - surely DL will bounce back?!

Not many people manage to show Gibraltar exactly as it is whilst carrying on with a storyline - thoroughly enjoyed the book and found all the references to Gibraltar so true. Mr Todd certainly did his homework - will read more of his books now.
